Sure does. Rules doesn't it? Can you imagine Bill O'Reilly in Australia? He'd be foaming at the mouth!

Your point being? By-the-by this also brings up a point for me, this is the main reason I like the Winchester form of government (sorry slightly intoxicated); Question time. There is nothing more satisfying than watching grown men and women reduced to high school kids arguing over the current policie. It's produced some memorable insults aswell.

My favourite was when a Labour MP pleaded to the Victorian public to note vote in Jeff Kennet as he was clearly a 'boof-head'

Classic Effie, classic!

Why do you think I love listening to ABC NewsRadio - live Broadcasts of question time, both House of Reps AND Senate.

There were some great ones being thrown about when parliament began sitting again, did you see Simon Crean's rant about the "fridge magnet of invulnerablity"? My god - I thought ASVS and SDnet used bad language...

I can just imagine throwing an egg at Bush...

...and I can also vividly imagine the Secret Service agents blowing my fucking head off...

And you have Canada to thank for it!

We devised that form of government, you just copied it!

You might through eggs at your PM, but here we actually HIT the PM with cream pies!

Beat that!

I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country. Had I two I probably could have taken Ashcroft down with me.

No cult of personality surrounds our Prime Minister. He goes on radio and is grilled, and the same happens to him on TV. Reporters also lob questions at him- he has no spokesperson to do his dirty work for him while he just stands in the distance and waves

That's so freakin awesome it is beyond words.

Safe to say that Kerry politely skullfucked him

This Howard character didn't even bring the latest lies and exaggerations into the debate. No mention of the doomsday device known as the balsa wood 'n tape drone!
